highly recommended

simplicity at last

At last a PhotoShop book that is easy to use and understand. As the old saying goes, One picture is worth a thousand words. Following along with the pictures makes difficult tasks easy. In a few instances, the pictures do need some additional explanation for a complete understanding. However, that is more than offset by the ease of things like layers, gradients, & selections. I am sold on the Visual books.

Good but not great

This book is probably worth the money- it does help- but don't expect to be able to follow each and every step of each and every procedure.

A bit too superficial for me

The screen shots and clip art are great. However, the book is very elementary and doesn't address many techniques in depth. For instance, it touches on albums and keytags, but doesn't talk about categories at all. It says it tells how to add photos to catalogs, but it doesn't. It doesn't discuss how to use catalogs, albums, categories, sub-categories and keytags to really organize photos.

It does a nice job explaining layers, so it is worth the money I spent for that. However, it doesn't talk about how to do some common, basic tasks such as erasing power lines and window air conditioners from photos.

I am searching for a more comprehensive book on Elements 6.0.

Ocassionally I've found a few visuals that don't match my screen.........then I have to go back to a previous chapter and try to work through it. It might be that I have a slightly different version of PSE 6. Sometimes the visual is a bit small for my old eyes. But in all, the chapters are well done.
